•An organization created in 2012 to help local pediatric cancer patients and their families with the financial burdens associated with their cancer diagnosis

•Many families have to spend a significant amount of time in the hospital or traveling to and from appointments –Because of this, it’s not uncommon for a parent/caregiver to take a leave of absence from work –This loss of income quickly adds financial burdens to the family, and this is what ThinkBIG is trying to alleviate
